Thank You to Helping House Staff

Last week our Ćećǝwǝt Lelǝm Helping House said good-bye to two members of our team.

Heather Gagnon was our Home Care Nurse and Laura Avery was our Expressive Arts Therapist. We thank them for the work they have done in our community over the years and always working with compassion.
